2017 – 2018: Imagination and Intuition

There are interesting philosophical debates about the role of imaginationandintuition in evaluative judgement, ethical and aesthetic sensitivity or appreciation, learning, prediction, mind reading and understanding others in a broader sense. There are deep questions surrounding the epistemological status of imaginationandintuition, as well as their relationship to perception, sensation, mental imagery, emotion and reason — to mention just a few. And then there are areas in aesthetics, ethics, metaphysics and philosophy of mind in which imaginationandintuition are not the subjects, but nevertheless play a clear role. Our hope is that this diversity of questions, ideas and approaches should provoke some interesting discussions.

Preliminary details about the series are listed below. Additional lectures/dates may yet be added. Please bookmark this page and check back for further updates over the coming months.
